I believe that Valve's current minimum spec is woefully inaccurate in reference to TF2.
I was wondering what tech the members of this community are rockin today. If anyone wants to help with this study, please post your specs, and what settings and how well tf2 runs on your PC. I am running really modern hardware that runs the game at maxed settings with great performance, but I have many less fortunate friends. A good idea of what could run these source-based games would be helpful to not only myself, but others looking to get into these games for the cheapest amount of money possible.

I get anywhere from 35-100 fps, depending on how chaotic the game is (explosions, bullets, particle effects, etc). I run my game at near maxed settings. (motion blur off, vertical sync off and some other tweaks)

What do you have in your machine?

Hey! Hey you! If you're working on a project, and you want help, message me! Don't be shy! I'm the guy to ask!

That device required me to set everything to minimum and do all the console tweaks to even get 30 FPS in the intel room on ctf_2fort without anything going on in the way of explosions or bullets. Basically Unplayable.

Basically an AMD FX-4300 on the CPU side with Graphics performance rivaling a GT 210
Was glad when I upgraded GPU to a GTX 960 until I realized I was getting CPU bottlenecked into oblivion.
Pre-960
Ran TF2 on low settings on 720p with decent FPS in active scenes

Post-960
Maxed out good experience. But the thing still couldn't play arma
